The air was filled with suspicion
She poured us two martinis and tried to guess my mission
I pretended to know nothing, it's best to use discretion
But she turned her floodlight eyes on me and demanded a confession

I told her I am a spy in the house of love
Gathering clues to be used in a war of the affections
I am a spy in the house of love
I won't be refused, I'm waiting for your heart's defection

I saw everything that pleased her
I recorded every moment and plotted how to seize her
I used a tiny camera - I tought I'd Japanese her
I made a voodoo doll of her and sat around and squeezed her

I told her I am a spy in the house of love
Gathering clues to be used in a war of the affections
I am a spy in the house of love
I won't be refused, I'm waiting for your heart's defection

I'll read your mail
I'll tap your phone
I'm on your trail, you're never alone
One day you'll slip up and leave a lip-print on a coffee cup
